Thoughtful-Christian-Introduction-to-Koran-Session

A basic understanding of the Koran, the holy scriptures of Islam, can be beneficial in understanding our Muslim brothers and sisters.

Introduction
Some knowledge of the Koran, the holy scriptures of Islam, will help in understanding the influence of Muslim peoples upon the world today. Because the Koran is written in Arabic, it is spelled in English as either Qur’an or Koran. This survey of the subject will cover four points: (1) the origin of the Koran, (2) its form, (3) its function, and (4) its content. In general we shall follow the traditional Islamic point of view in describing the Koran without dealing with questions of historial criticism or Christian theology. The author has translated all the passages found in this study from the original Arabic.
